What is cieTrade?

cieTrade is a business management and inventory control software for commodity trading and recycling companies. Designed to maximize operational productivity, cieTrade helps eliminate manual spreadsheets and workarounds with automated data entry that can be accessed from any location, leveraging built-in workflow tools for tracking shipping status, billing tasks and claims, etc. A unique "buy/sell" approach streamlines brokerage shipment details into instantly retrievable forms, while index formula and differential pricing is supported alongside the logging of all order activities and pricing histories. Shipping and billing documentation can also be generated faster in one single click, while automated email uses a template-based tool to send custom messages with multiple file attachments. Aside from core trading, export and inventory control features, cieTrade also delivers payment processing, shipping statement creation and advanced reporting capabilities for tracking a multitude of business performance trends. Integration with leading third-party accounting packages such as QuickBooks and Xero then ensures financial data is synchronized accurately while eliminating double entry.

In addition to online system access, cieTrade is also supported by a suite of native mobile apps for iOS and Android platforms. cieMobile gives mobile access to cieTrade accounts and reporting information including contact details, accounts receivable, open shipments or orders and more, along with revenue updates and email/phone communication from within the app. Truck Drivers can manage cieTrade dispatch jobs and view drive directions remotely with cieDispatch, while ciePhoto allows photographic evidence of shipments or material quality issues to be captured, tagged and uploaded to the main database.
